Strength Based Community Change (SBCC)

Lidia enjoys spending her free time reading, exploring new music, and learning new things, especially those that contribute to her academic and personal growth. Her kindness, humility, and willingness to learn make her stand out. She works hard not only for herself but also to build a future she can be proud of; she is currently in her second year of nursing school. Lidia's journey through foster care began at a young age. She appreciates exploring educational videos and working on writing assignments.

Lidia is asking for a coloring book for the holiday because creative activities have become an important part of how she manages stress, expresses herself, and finds moments of calm in her day. Coloring helps her unwind, stay grounded, and cope with the pressures of school and daily responsibilities. It gives her a healthy outlet to relax her mind, especially during times when life feels overwhelming or fast-paced. Having her own coloring book would give Lidia a simple but meaningful way to practice self-care.
